The Photography minor provides students the opportunity to explore the technical, formal, historical, theoretical, and ethical concerns of fine art, commercial, and editorial photography. A variety of traditional, experimental, darkroom and digital approaches are explored as students develop their individual representational languages.
Eligibility
The Photography minor is open to students majoring in Animation, Game and Entertainment Design, Graphic Design, Fashion Design, Illustration, Product Design and Toy Design. Students must be on track in their major and in good academic standing, with no more than 6 credits behind and a cumulative GPA of 2.0. Photography minors will only participate in the Annual Exhibition of their home department, however depending on space availability, they may utilize Fine Arts Senior Studios on a case-by-case basis with approval from the Department Chair.
Requirements
15 credits of Photography courses (5 studio courses or 4 studio courses + 1 Liberal Arts and Sciences course) Students select courses based on guidance from the Director of Interdisciplinary Studies, Minor Area Heads and Academic Advisors and must follow prerequisites when applicable.
